Fox Business Network will overhaul portions of its weekday schedule beginning October 12, launching a new three-hour morning program while ending “The Bottom Line” and expanding the anchor lineup of “The Big Money Show.”

The network will debut “Big Money in the Morning” weekdays from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. Eastern, with Dagen McDowell, Brian Brenberg and Taylor Riggs serving as hosts alongside Barron’s Josh Schafer.

The program will combine breaking business news, market analysis and debate focused on economic and financial developments ahead of the trading day. It replaces “Mornings with Maria,” which was hosted by former Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo until last month.

McDowell and Brenberg currently co-host “The Bottom Line,” which will end its run in the 6 p.m. time slot as they transition to mornings. Encore presentations of Larry Kudlow’s “Kudlow” will replace the program at 6 p.m.

McDowell has been with Fox since 2003 and was among the founding anchors of Fox Business Network when it launched in 2007. Brenberg joined the network in 2020, while Riggs arrived in 2022 following a stint at Bloomberg. Schafer is a Fox Business contributor and Barron’s Investor Circle Newsletter Editor.

Fox Business is also making changes to “The Big Money Show,” which airs weekdays from noon to 2 p.m. Jackie DeAngelis will remain with the program and will be joined by Cheryl Casone and Fox Business contributors Marcus Lemonis and Lou Basenese as rotating co-hosts.

The network will also launch “Claman’s Power Players,” a weekly program hosted by Liz Claman that will air Fridays from 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The show will feature business executives, industry leaders and creators discussing developments expected to influence Wall Street and the broader economy during the following week. Claman, who joined Fox Business when it launched in 2007, will continue hosting the weekday afternoon program “The Claman Countdown.”

The schedule changes were announced Thursday by Fox News Media President and Executive Editor Jay Wallace, who said the additions were intended to strengthen the network’s business news and market coverage throughout the day.

Fox Business Network is part of Fox News Media, which is owned by Fox Corporation. The channel’s programming is offered around-the-clock on Fox One, the company’s standalone streaming service.
